many Northern youths are innovative, but their greedy elders wont let them shine.. i remember sometimes few years ago when Habokkiis designed a PVC pipe LED AA battery using lamp and where hawking it about, i was currious and i bought one, and it was not only very effective it used lesser energy

Young Habokii youth are inventing sucide bomb vest and new drugs to get high by sniffing soak away , gum , and reptile feaces... if Government sponsor them t get proper training, i see them producing Nuclear bombs and Hybrid of cheaper crack cocaine

Stf-UP

The Average northerner knows nothing about science and technology.

Creating Avenue for money Laundering.

Rubbish et Ingredient.

OP what's in the picture?......Is that the new discovery or innovation?

What is this?

Please let's be guided in this country, we play too much and pay unnecessary attention to mediocrities. It's good to appreciate and publicise innovations, but that's when it's truly innovative and not a quack replica of an existing one.

We need to do better as a nation to move forward.

So why do they need less than half the points of southerners to get into Unity schools paid with oil revenue and VAT of the southern people?

After 50 years of Independence, the government of the so called disadvantaged regions ought to have done something to address the situation. You cannot continue to spoon-feed a child and expect that same child to grow, mature and be independent. A student from Abia scores 130 in the Federal Commonwealth Entrance exam, yet it's almost impossible to gain admission in the school of his choice, yet another child from Zamfara will score less than 5 and gain same admission seamlessly. How do you encourage such a child that hard work and merit pays?

Look at all the appointments the president has made so far, over 90% from the north. They are telling us they are based on merit. My question is how comes, when it comes to appointment, they are hiding under merit to appoint only their own, but when it comes to exams and admission into Federal institutions, they bring in Federal character. I'm an advocate of merit, hardwork, transparency, objectivity and emperical selection process. That way you encourage everybody to work hard for whatever he/she wants. After all, the Bible says, "he who does not work, let him not eat". It's against natural and spiritual justice and principle to take from those who work and give to those who don't work.

That in itself is the root of corruption Nigeria. I support the President's fight against corruption. I advocate the enthronement of merit and objectivity in our national life. So, Mr. President, if you are serious about your anti-corruption mantra, If you are serious about this your new "merit" policy, let's go back to the basis. Start by eliminating all forms of quota system and federal character in the admission process into Unity schools, Federal universities and recruitment/employment into all federal civil service, agencies, parastatals and let's see who will be qualified. That's my humble submission.

Stop making it seem like North dont pay tax, they do, infact they have some of the highest paying companies paying tax (Dangote and BUA group)

now to answer your question in simple terms

each state has its quota in the unity schools, South East quota is overly subscribed because SouthEast think only through western education can they survive, NorthEast and NorthWest prefer Islamic Education and traditional farming and animal husbandry local education which means Northern quota in Unity schools are least subscribe to, and in other to fill up their own quota non northern indigenes residing in the north gets admitted(my mum used northern Kano state quota) the remaining slots are shared among intrested low scoring northerners

you talk well come spoil am along ths way.

Nobody is a dummy. Everyone is good at something. But a black man is naturally greedy. The problem is that they use religion to fuddle the African child.

The whole NIgeria is like a wasteland. Just that it's a little worse up north. But nowhere is really good.

Hmmmm... Scientists eh?

i see things changing from 2023, when all coup plotting Generals must have retired ,, new crops of politicians like Ameachi , Wike, Osinbajo, Tinubu, Ganduje, Tambuwa , Fashola are all good administrator, they loot and still want to develop projects that changes life, but the so called Generals where trained by colonialist to limit our development
